Models of Memory
Cards in this deck (17)
- 1Three slave systems in WMMPL, VSS, EB
- 2Purpose of PLSTM memory for verbal information/ Sounds with a rehearsal system subdivided into the Articulatory store and the Phonological Process (rehearsal)
- 3Purpose of VSSSTM memory for visual and spatial information again subdivided into the Visual Cache and the Inner scribe VC stores information about form and colour whilst the IS is responsible for movement and spatial tasks as well as rehearsing info from VC to move to teh The CE
- 4Purpose of EBMain purpose is to collate information from other slave systems for coding into the LTM as well as acting as a overflow store of information
- 5Central ExecutiveCoordination of slave systems
High level intellectual tasks like problem solving
Attention Control - 6Evidence that supports the WMMPET neuroscans indicate that the Pl and VSS are separate areas
Patient KF as he could recall information when presented visually but could not when it was presented verbally suggesting that STM has separate stores.
Dual Task experiments by baddeley and Hitch - 7Disputing WMMVery vague in terms of LTM and there is ni evidence that there is an area of the brain that could be the CE
- 8Dual taskBaddeley and Hitch found that when participants are asked to do a problem solving task at the same time as reading random digits they could which disputes the MSM
- 9Word length effectBaddeley found that polysyllabic words have poorer recall than monosyllabic as they take up more space in PL so cannot be repeated in the two second time frame
- 10GathercoleUsed the word length effect to find children with learning difficulties at school as they will have smaller vocabularies due to smaller PL storage showing practical application
- 11Gathercole and BaddeleyFound that P's had difficulty tracking a moving point and describing angles suggesting that the VSS is a separate STM process
- 12AllowayHas used the research to provide more effective intervention for children with ADHD showing practical application
- 13Draw the Multi store model
- 14supporting evidenceBaddeley found that STM mixes up acoustically similar words but LTM mixes up semantically similar words.
- 15Disputing evidencePatient KF could not remember digits when read to him but could when they were presented to him. Suggesting there are at least two different types of STM
- 16Craik and WatsonThe MSM suggests that there is only one type of rehearsal however they demonstrated that maintenance rehearsal is the type in the MSM but all this does is keep things in the STM. To transfer information across elaborative rehearsal is needed. This is linking information to your existing knowledge
- 17Evaluation of all researchLots of memory research lacks mundane realism. Since it is laboratory based
